For a long time afterward, Agalite and his crew were nothing short of spectacular! Every day, invitations from nobles of all sizes, large and small, were sent to their estates for various banquets. Every nobleman and great merchant treated them with great respect, and constantly asked them all kinds of topics from the elves. Ask them about everything about the elves. At first, Agalit was still talking about these topics in high spirits every day, but as time went on, not only him but also his crew began to get bored. Therefore, I began to push the invitation from the nobles.

With the fermentation of time, the existence of elves and news began to spread rapidly to the European continent, North Africa and Asia Minor. Coupled with the fact that there were a large number of goods from the elves, piled up in the port of Seville for sale, and some of the goods were transported to the prosperous port of the Tang people to be sold, for a time large and small merchant ships began to gather in Seville, and they were all rushing for the exquisite goods that were said to come from the elves. They even began to ignore the presence of silk, porcelain, tea, and spices. In a short period of time, the major ports that were incomparably prosperous in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be much empty. And this status quo was also quickly informed by the officials of the Tang monarch.

At this time, the monarch, who had just completed ten years in office, was enjoying all kinds of beautiful flowers and plants in the back garden, and after hearing the report, he frowned dishappily. After patting his dusty palm, he ordered a messenger to be heard, and then a sweaty official came in dressed in fine silk clothes, and after paying his respects, he said, "Your Majesty, the news of the elves and goods that have recently been circulating from Castille have seriously affected our trading activities. He wiped his sweat stains, "In the past, our ports were full of ships, but now, there has been a serious outflow of merchant ships and merchants from major ports. They gathered in Seville, armed with gold and goods, in search of goods from the elves. How can we reverse this behavior that is not in the interests of our country? ”

Hearing this, the Tang monarch paused his hand in the tea, then took a sip of the fragrant green tea, and said, "Then let our navy go to Castile and order that all their goods must be assembled in our port and sold." This has been the rule and code of conduct that we have made for hundreds of years, when did Castille become so bold as to dare to violate the trade rules we have made? ”

"Maybe it's because of the elves!"

"Elves?" He scoffed, "It's just nonsense, maybe it was obtained from some strange country that we don't know, and then named after the elves, and then deceived the world." He said, "With that shipload of goods, you want to shake our position for hundreds of years?" It's just wishful thinking! ”

"There must be a reason for it, Your Majesty!"

The Tang Monarch was even more disdainful, "Has anyone seen those elves?" He said, "Can you believe the words of those sailors, these lowly people with mud legs?" It's a shame that these Yi people are still proud, and they call themselves 'blue-blooded nobles' and give them the title of earl for nothing, even if it is a false title, you can see what kind of goods these guys are. He said proudly, "Don't say that elves exist, even if they exist?" They think that with these things from the elves, they will be able to break the trade status of our country? Can we weaken our Suez Canal trade? Stop dreaming! ”

"I'm going to show these people that even if the elves really exist, then the port of trade must be our port, and the object of trade must be us! The foundation left by the hard work of our ancestors will not tolerate anyone's wanton challenge! He said: "Now it is not much better than before, hundreds of years ago we were few and thin, but now, we have a population of nearly 20 million, and we can easily assemble hundreds of thousands of troops!" Who are our opponents in the entire West? ”

"Your Majesty said yes." The official should reconcile, "That minister will start to inform the navy to do this now?" ”

"Yes, go ahead!"

"Yes."

After the officials left, the Tang monarch lay lazily on the rocking chair, looked at the exquisite and luxurious garden in front of him, and muttered, "Elf? If you want to break the trade monopoly of my Tang people, it's just wishful thinking! "He's shrewd, he's very clear-headed, and he can see from the actions of the Western European countries what kind of wishful thinking they are playing. It is nothing more than to look at their trade interests, but to see that their national power is not weakening, but is getting stronger and stronger, coupled with a huge navy, almost turning the Mediterranean Sea into its own swimming pool, so it has scruples. Then, they want to find a new way to find a new route to China, and then they want to break their trade monopoly. But at the same time, he also knows that in the future, they will inevitably be unable to deal with many countries, especially in the unpredictable future, no one knows what will happen. Although their family inherited their ancestors and possessed unfathomable power and prophetic powers, this ability has changed as the bloodline has been passed down from generation to generation. The future is not the point where they say they can see it if they want to.

Therefore, when he succeeded to the throne, he did not follow the example of his father and grandfather, and used all the money obtained from the prosperous overseas trade for his own enjoyment. Instead, he spent most of his money on developing his country's land, supporting his country's agriculture, industry and commerce, and building straight roads to connect the country! Promoting prosperous overseas trade can affect the economy of the mainland, and then revitalize the whole country completely! In fact, he did, and under his rule, his country became even more prosperous and powerful. Although the huge population of nearly 20 million in China cannot be rich for everyone, compared with the people of Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor, they are undoubtedly rich.

At the very least, it is reflected in the national quality of the Tang people, who are generally tall and strong, and their stature is even taller and stronger than that of Europeans. This is due to the good food conditions and the 'military career' that has long been cultivated throughout the country, at least for one month a year, men of appropriate age in the country undergo militarized training. This also leads to the fact that if they do not send troops, they will be able to pull up a qualified soldier with strong quality and military foundation in a very short period of time! Whether it's the Army, or the Navy!

Therefore, this is his self-confidence and confidence, and at the same time, it is also what he is most proud of!

After the order was given, the naval ships in the port of the Tang people began to assemble, and the huge navy began to assemble with a sound of war drums. They were all well-armed and well-armed, and at the moment the order was given. The sailors began to quickly come out of the barracks, and then quickly boarded the ships, and the war supplies began to be transported onto the ships, and every time they went out, they were ready to fight at any time!

In just a few hours, the huge navy of the Tang people was assembled, and then under the awe-inspiring and talkative gaze of the merchants of their own country and foreign merchants, they officially pulled anchor and set sail, heading straight for the port of Seville in Castile! The goal, of course, is to maintain their trading position and bring the outflow of merchant ships to their own ports for trade again!

If Castille is not interested, then all that awaits them is ...... War!
